I don't think we can force anyone to document something they write, asthat would discourage people from submitting pieces of code. I don't thinkwe sohuld be calling anyone idiots either. But *requesting* that ifsomeone changes code, and the documentation then becomes out of date, thenthey somehow flag the documentation as such. Maybe there should be a filein linux/Documentation that lists the date/kernel version that each pieceof documentation was written for.
